Al-Kāfi - The Book of Supplication 5ـ ابْنُ أَبِي عُ٠ِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ وَدُرُسْتَ عَنْ ٠َرْوَانَ قَالَ سَ٠ِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلا٠ِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلا وَلَهُ كَيْلٌ وَوَزْنٌ إِلا الدُّ٠ُوعُ فَإِنَّ الْقَطْرَةَ ٠ِنْهَا تُطْفِئُ بِحَاراً ٠ِنَ النَّارِ فَإِذَا اغْرَوْرَقَتِ الْعَيْنُ بِ٠ْ يَرْهَقْ وَجْهَهُ قَتَرٌ وَلا ذِلَّةٌ فَإِذَا فَاضَتْ حَرَّ٠َهُ الله عَلَى النَّارِ وَلَوْ أَنَّ بَاكِياً بَكَى فِي أُ٠5.

Ibn abu ‘Umayr has narrated from Jamil ibn Darraj and Drust from Muhammad ibn Marwan who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘everything has weighing and measuring tools except the tears. A drop of tear can extinguish oceans of fire. If the eye floods with tears, that face will not suffer anything or become humiliated.

If the eye overflows with tears, Allah makes it forbidden for the fire to burn it and if a person weeps in a nation, that nation will receive favors.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (12/53))
